Pass Previous Values as Flow Inputs

In your Business Rule, explicitly pass the previous values as input variables to the flow:

Business Rule (Before/After Update):

javascript

(function executeRule(current, previous /*null when async*/) {
    
    // Store previous values in an object
    var previousValues = {
        state: previous.state.toString(),
        assigned_to: previous.assigned_to.toString(),
        priority: previous.priority.toString()
        // Add other fields you need
    };
    
    // Trigger the flow with both current and previous values
    var inputs = {
        current_record: current.getUniqueValue(),
        table_name: current.getTableName(),
        previous_state: previousValues.state,
        previous_assigned_to: previousValues.assigned_to,
        previous_priority: previousValues.priority
    };
    
    sn_fd.FlowAPI.getRunner().trigger('your_flow_sys_id', inputs);
    
})(current, previous);

Then in your Flow Designer script action, access these as input variables:

javascript

inputs.previous_state
inputs.previous_assigned_to
